Story Radar -- Not Everything Is A Story | Seven Stories | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

The idea of storytelling for leadership and business is generating a lot of interest these days, as it well should. Stories are one of the most powerful ways to communicate. Stories can be memorable and meaningful. They’re immensely useful – whether you want to lead people, market your business, or just get some laughs. The best writers read a lot, and the best storytellers pay close attention and listen to the stories around them. But what exactly is a story, and what do you listen for?...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Shawn Callahan's four story essentials are worth noting: time, place, dialogue, the unexpected

Karen Dietz's curator insight, January 11, 6:02 PM

Got your story radar on?


I did not even know what this meant until I read this article by colleague Andrew Nemiccolo and listened to my colleague Shawn Callahan explain it.


Basically it is this -- not everything we hear is a story. And plenty of people are confused about this, as I can attest to in my own story work with clients.


Shawn offers us an activity that will get us to quickly understand the storied world we live in, and helps us know what a story is and is not.


Thans Andrew and Shawn for putting this together! I know I am going to use it with clients. And with myself too so I can continue to develop my story listening skills (those always need attention no matter how long you've been doing this work!).

Absolutely Jeff. They are key essentials. I'm glad Shawn put these together to share with us.

A must-read for ALL strategists! Note Jan Gordon's excellent overview of this post.

I think the real data will show up when we explore linked open data of social networks, rendering this with social footprints, blogs and other contributions people who influence because they share their unique parts of the knowledge taxonomy with one another and like this comment, usually in a meta or keywording format/s.

Social media strategies devoid of risk management can lead to long days in the court room. Most businesses are not aware of the legal and reputational risks surrounding social media done poorly.  Comments are welcome.

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 21, 6:28 PM

"It’s been said that 85% of the people who work in social media have been in the industry for less than two years. I think it was LinkedIn who first suggested this, but it often explains why there is so much bad advice floating around, so many poorly devised strategic plans and so much money wasted on failed campaigns." We have serious problems because many are self-appointed leaders.
